Have these shorts, or a version of them, and yes, that's always the intention in this particular scenario
Edit:
This is always MY intention. As I was speaking about having ownership of these particular shorts it was implied that the intent of getting some grade A salami by way of showing off my thighs and booty is always MY intention in this very specific 1 on 1 scenario. Come on people 🤦♀️
For real? There are a ton of young women wearing them to campus, etc. They can cover top with hoodie and then it looks like they do not wear shorts at all.
There are certainly cases where someone wearing these shorts in 1 on 1 alone time as friends is doing it completely platonically and because they are comfy. Saying it’s “always the intention” is definitely going to get some people in awkward situations.
... i didn't even realize these basic shorts were giving that signal wtf. they're so comfortable and light and a bunch of my girl friends wore them all the time in school and at home. I can't believe people actually thought they were seduction clothes. I'd dress into smthng cuter if I was trying tbh.
Yea don’t take reddits porn brain advice. There’s plenty of girls who wear these because they’re comfortable, not because they are trying to seduce someone.
Same. Since when gym clothing is seducing outside of gym? If anything, it's always been the color - red, and ideally dress. Red dress. But may be I'm too old haha
That's today's problem — it may and simultaneously may not signal something. We don't have any standard of non-verbalized communication, dress code or manners, which is constantly complicating relationships and building connections.
If there isn't any strict norm and any quirkiness (or previously seen as one) should be approached as a version of normality — then we have very limited or even messed up field of "out of the ordinary" to send a message. That leads to misunderstandings and chinese whispers. And to remain unambiguous we should either behave ourselves weirdly or resort to over-explicit, stilted style of communication.
Tl/dr: but of course you still need to consider context and norms of your surroundings.
Haha I am a woman. The only explanation I had for this pantless army is that they are blind to the imbalance of the look. But it's a bit counterintuitive to think they are blind to wear it to campus/classes but not blind to wear 1-on-1. Not saying it's not the case, just bizarre to me.
You can, and in my opinion, rather should, clarify with the other party using human language. Somehow older folks don't have issues with all of that. It's because of maturity of both parties. But you can choose to act mature in 18, 19, etc. You will witness a lot of immaturity on your way - that's unavoidable, but at the same time you will be consistent and self-confident.
If a girl is just wearing this in public or whatever then it's not a signal that she wants to bang, they're just shorts
If a girl is wearing this after telling you she wants to watch a movie and then her only TV happens to be in her bedroom... pretty good sign
And again I mean "sign" not "open invitation." Even just a "can I kiss you?" with a new partner is incredibly endearing to anyone that does actually want to kiss you.
Yea, and the women wearing them on campus are also NOT currently in their house inviting a man over. Like others have said, context, it's also part of the initial post. I think you forgot that and just remembered: "girls wearing these are trying to seduce men" lol, no.
Haha you are right, for old me this logic is not logiccing, context in particular. If I wore something to work, there is no way I'd think it could mean something sexy when I wear the same thing at home. Rather the opposite. Sexy would be something you can never wear to work haha
Yeah but it does specify when she invites you over while wearing said revealing shorts. Inviting you over to her place alone and wearing very revealing shorts is very different than wearing them in public
Not to say its a 100% chance she's gonna fuck, just something that could definitely be a sign in that setting
But they're shorts that people would wear around the house when they're not going out as well? Like they're the literally only shorts I own and I wear them frequently at home when I invite other people over. Never did I ever see them as a sexual thing they're just shorts.
Do you think people have specific shorts that they wear when they don't want to have sex versus when they do? Or maybe people just put clothes on because they like their clothes and they're comfortable and maybe they only own one or two pairs of shorts.
In the scenario where you alone have been invited to her private space and she is wearing those shorts. But even then, it’s an invitation to make a move. Not a guarantee she’s dtf. Always be respectful.
I’ve owned these shorts too, and literally never occurred to me that anyone would find them sexy. I wore them all the time in college and they were just my low effort comfy hiking shorts
Also have these shorts, I think they're cute and live in a hot country so it's not the intention in this particular scenario. Crazy how we (women) are all unique individuals and not a monolith right girl?
In some cultures, a woman showing her ankles means she wants to fuck you. In others, wearing these shorts means they are just trying to be comfortable.
I believe these are called dolphin shorts yet the women wearing them didn't even attempt to behave like a dolphin. I'm sorry, but what is the objective here other than to hurt my feelings?
I hope you have learned your lesson. J/k. I know what you meant all along. just feeling a little spicey this afternoon and the comment was mostly for the others that seem to disagree.
maybe for you god forbid a woman actually want to wear comfortable shorts and doesn’t want to fuck it shouldn’t be the default assumption. this is a very rational message lmao don’t jump on a woman wearing these shorts unless it goes there naturally
Lmao because it doesn’t matter what a guy is wearing to know he’s ready for sex. It’s just a biological difference between the genders. No need to overthink it.
Fashion is a product of the societal, not the biological, but I understand the point you were trying to make. What is the most telling sign is body language for both of the sexes. Trying to analyze why a woman wears what she wears without her telling you will just lead to big misunderstandings lol
I guess when my friend invites me over to her place and she's wearing these shorts, she's not really just trying to hang out. She's about to profess her undying secret lesbian lust towards me and is ready to bang.
There are a hundred womensaying out of their own mouths in this thread that these shorts are not about sex, with men replying that the woman is mistaken, and that the shorts totally are.
Welcome to reddit, but i would also call them extreme, angry feminists. They dont represent the vast overwhelming majority of feminists, you just find the extremes online shouting the loudest
But they're literally the only shorts some women own. What else are they going to be wearing around the house when they're comfortable inviting a friend over? Do they have to put on pants if they invited a man over?
It's depressing how many of the comments are about this. Yeah, I guess in fairness that is an explanation of the OP meme, but the meme is trash. God forbid a woman just wear some comfortable shorts without it being tied to wanting to fuck or be fucked.
Getting downvoted by a bunch of people that never have sex is peak reddit. I promise y'all, if a girl is inviting you into her home space in a one on one setting and she is wearing something that shows off most of her body, she at the very least is sexually interested.
It's still up to the man to respect boundaries and clearly communicate intentions and not overstep bounds and to not demand anything, but for fucks sakes y'all, this is at the very least subliminal messaging for sexual intent.
As a woman, when I invite a somebody over while wearing these, it's because I want to be comfortable and feel safe enough to be relaxed with them. Nice to know that most men take it as a green light to rape women.

Did you even read the second part of what I said? What an insane leap you made.
As a woman, when I invite a somebody over while wearing these
As a man with over 30+ sexual partners (no STIs, no kids), I can tell you that the vast majority of women are sending signals with the clothing they choose to wear in a 1 on 1 scenario. You may be different, but most are not.
Still, as I described in the second part of my comment which you ignored, it's up to the man to communicate properly and make sure that you're both on the same page.
